/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Subverted by Tendi and Pelia though.

They both seem pretty well assimilated into human culture though. Maybe the crazy can rub off. I think the Vulcans definitely would have said that about T'Pol.

In actuality though, I think it's probably just that every species has these people, humans just have more for whatever reason. And so the other species' people go to join the humans

Humans in Trek seem to value individuality over conformity more than most of the other cultures. The ones most like them in that regard are probably Klingons and Bajorans. Likely contributes to the high number of crazy mavericks.

Why do you think there are so few Orions in Starfleet? Because Tendi is one of the few weirdos who Gets It. The rest are like "WTF you people are crazy!"

I mean... that and they're all pirates.

....proceeds to do the pirate criminal thing at the end of last season.
